Join movement leaders, community activists and other people affected by fracking across the country. We are gathering in Denver, CO to participate in non-violent direct action training, communications, share stories and information, become better spokespeople, learn about clean energy alternatives, celebrate victories, and strengthen this growing national and international movement.

We will also be taking to the streets of Denver to protest the harm that fracking causes to our health, our climate, and our communities. We hope to see you there!

Stop the Frack Attack calls on all those who care about clean water, our climate, and the health of communities to please chip in and donate to our National Summit Scholarship fund. We don't want to leave anyone out in the energy sacrifice zone alone - donate today to make sure no one is left behind by helping them attend our national summit to join with others.

Your donation will ensure that people like Jenny Lisak can attend. She's an organic farmer from Pennsylvania fighting a fracking well near her family farm. Your donation will help make it possible for Robert Nehman to attend. He's a farmer fighting against frac sand mining companies invading his small town in Iowa. Jenny are Robert are just two of the 40 activists you will be helping with your donation.

With your help, we aim to raise $15,000 for our scholarship fund, which will cover travel and accommodations for up to 40 local activists who otherwise could not afford to attend.

We are gathering in Denver, CO to share stories, become better spokespeople, learn about clean energy alternatives, celebrate victories, and strengthen this national movement. We will also be taking to the streets of Denver to protest the harm that fracking causes to our health, our climate, and our communities. No one should miss out on the National Summit because they can't afford to get there. Please donate!

NOTE: The vast majority of all fracking operators are not from Colorado! They are from other states and do not live here. The only interest they have is to frack our backyards, contaminate our water, air and soil. There are no more borders, we are all 'one' against the fracking industry!

FRACTIVIST

An organized resistance against the harmful toxic extraction industry for the common good of environmental and human safety.

I build, organize and educate communities to become aware of the harmful impacts from oil and gas extraction. I supply factual, unredacted official data to public and private organizations, Universities, elected officials and scientists to use in-part, or in whole, to better understand the various ways the oil and gas industry and the State of Colorado have failed to prevent adverse impacts to the environment and the citizens.

Climate change was yesterday. We are now in a climate crisis.

We need 'Healthy Energy' not another dirty fossil fuel. If the solution is not healthy, we don't want it!

We are smarter than a fossil fuel.
